Chef-proprietor Martin Peacock has built his menu on classical French traditions and impeccable sourcing and there’s real creativity and originality on show here. The international wine list offers a decent but not overlong selection, with accessible pricing.Vegetarian: we will always offer at least one starter and one main vegetarian choice.

Staff were brilliant, food 50% of table loved it / 50% found it too salty but that was the dish so think was more individual taste than any issue. Brilliant place and would recommend.
